"The protective films market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.23% from 2017 to 2022"

Increasing demand for protective films from the building and construction industry and the transportation industry especially from the automotive sector are the major drivers for the growth of the protective films market. The difficulty in recycling polymer based protective films act as a restraint for the growth of the protective films market.

"Among the classes of protective films, adhesive-coated protective films are projected to account for largest market share during the forecast period"

The adhesive-coated segment protective films market is projected to account for the largest share amongst the different classes of protective films. Adhesive-coated protective films based on common polymers such as polyethylene, propylene, polyvinyl chloride, and polyethylene terephthalate, among others, belonging to the polyolefin class are the most commonly used protective films. These are easier to manufacture and are lower priced, which makes adhesive-coated protective films a more popular choice than self-adhesive protective films.

"Among types, polyethylene protective films are projected to account for the largest share during the forecast period"

The polyethylene protective films segment is projected to account for the largest share during the forecast period from 2017 to 2022. Suitability with different adhesives based on water, acrylic, solvent, and others coupled with the lower cost of polyethylene films makes them a more popular type of protective film. These are also suitable for a majority of the substrates where protective films are applied. These factors are leading to the high demand for the polyethylene type of protective films.

"Asia Pacific is projected to lead the protective films market during the forecast period"

The Asia Pacific is the largest market for protective films, and is led by countries, such as China, India, South Korea, and Southeast Asian countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, and others. The demand for protective films in the region is mainly driven by the growing consumption in the building and construction, transportation, and the electronics industries. Significant growth in the building & construction industries of China, India, and other emerging countries such as Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia coupled with the growing transportation and electronics industries in Japan and South Korea are driving the protective films market in the region.

FEATURED COMPANIES

The protective films market is projected to reach USD 17.57 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 6.23% between 2017 and 2022. Growth of this market is primarily attributed to the increasing demand for protective films from various end-use industries such as building & construction, transportation, electronics, and others. The demand for protective films has increased in these sectors, as manufacturers are more conscious in protecting their products from dirt, scratches, and chemicals, among others and making them more durable. Protective films are also growing popular in the aftermarket products of these industries, as these protect surfaces from any damages caused by UV rays, abrasion, and weathering, among others.

Adhesive-coated is the largest segment of the protective films market. This class of protective films are the most commonly used protective films due to the greater compatibility with different substrates such as glass, metals, and plastics, among others, and easier manufacturing processes compared to self-adhesive protective films.

Polyethylene type protective films had the largest market share among the different types of protective films such as polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polyvinyl chloride, and others in 2016. This is due to the fact that polyethylene protective films are made of the polyethylene polymer which is the most commonly available polymer and are the cheapest among protective films.

The building and construction segment is the largest end-use industry segment of the protective films market. Growth in the building and construction industry can be attributed to the growing construction industry worldwide, especially in emerging regions. Due to the growing construction industry, production of building materials such as window profiles, glazed panels, window frames, floors, cabinets, and carpets is also expected to increase, thereby increasing the demand for protective films for these applications.

The Asia Pacific is the largest regional segment of the protective films market, in terms of value. Countries in this region such as China, India, Japan, and South Korea are witnessing a gradual increase in the demand for protective films. The growing construction industry in the region due to rapid urbanization, and the increase in the production of automotive and electronics goods are expected to play a significant role in driving the protective films market in the region.

Although the protective films market is growing at a rapid pace, market growth is affected by a few factors. Protective films are difficult to recycle as these are made of common polymeric materials. Therefore, direct disposal of protective films raises concerns of environmental damage. This, in turn, acts as a restraint, impacting the growth of the protective films market.

Nitto Denko Corporation (Japan), Saint-Gobain (France), 3M (US), Chargeurs (France), DuPont (US), and Arkema (France) are the leading players in the protective films market. These companies have a wide breadth and depth of protective films products in their product portfolios and have also adopted various growth strategies, such as expansions, mergers & acquisitions, collaborations/partnerships/agreements, and new product launches to enhance their shares in the protective films market. The competition among these players is high, and they mostly compete with each other on the prices and quality of the products, their product portfolios, and customized solutions, among others.
